Mark Tisdall asks simple questions - What works? What doesn’t?

“There’s usually a bit of stress happening by the time people decide to come and get professional support. So it helps to know what to expect. I want to hear both what works in your life and what’s not working out.” says Mark Tisdall.
 
Therapy focus is on building client strengths

I encourage clients to use their personal strengths to face challenges. So think about what you are good at and what works in your life before we meet to talk.  It will speed up our efforts to get your life back on track.

Family therapy is about context - not what’s wrong with you as a person

I use a Family Systems approach to help you understand some of the patterns of both your life and your family. We will work together to interrupt some of the ways you behave, think, and interact.
In my experience, if one part of a system acts or thinks differently, then something new happens.
I value and respect each person's life experience and encourage and support honest talking.

The therapy relationship is based on agreement

All clients sign a Terms & Conditions Agreement either before we meet or at our first therapy session. This is an agreement about safety, confidentiality and payments.  Clients meet me in person in a comfortable, ground floor modern office in the  Palmerston North CBD.
